I'm car-jinxed, I swear. Not sure if my avid readers (mom and Kevin) remember, but I blogged about me breaking Des's windshield wipers last winter. He says I didn't break them, but just happened to be in the car when they broke. Well, to prove that I really was the cause of the broken wipers, my car decided to just not heat. In -20 degree weather. Perfect. You don't realize how important heat in a car is until you don't have it. I was driving about 20 minutes to dinner and thought to myself, "well, realistically, it takes about 20 mins for the heat to actually work anyways in normal conditions, so I'll be fine." False, I almost died of hypothermia. Fact. So in short, yes, I am car-jinxed, and those darn things break around me. Now I remember why I didn't have one for 3 years. Fact #2.
I already knew I had the best sister and brother in law to be ever, yet tonight they came to my rescue and put themselves even one notch higher. Thanks guys, I look like a demon compared to you. But seriously, Colby went outside in the freezing weather (believe me, I know how cold it is ... try sitting in my icebox for 5 mins .. does NOT cut down on the wind chill) to see if he could fix my car. He couldn't. So instead we took my car to a shop, and they gave me Amanda's car to use for the weekend. Saints.
I hope they don't read this and figure out I'm car-jinxed... hers will probably be next. Stay tuned...
